READING is fun at Tooradin Primary School after the library received a significant boost this week.
The school won a competition that awarded it a copy of every Pan-MacMillan book published in 2006.
The books will be received as they are published throughout the year.
Representatives from the MacMillan publishing company visited Tooradin on Monday to present the prize, valued at $4000, to the school.
Teacher Donna McHattie said the books would be welcome additions to the library, classrooms and staffroom.
“The subjects will be many, including fiction and non-fiction. It will be exciting opening each of the packages as they arrive,” she said.
